Jdg 2:10 “And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.”

How amazing! A whole generation that didn’t “know the Lord or the work that he had done”. How could this happen to God’s chosen people? These were the same people He performed miracle after miracle for.

And yet, this might seem like a familiar story to you if you live in the United States. A generation is currently on the rise that has rarely stepped foot into church, read their Bible, or even learned about Jesus.

It can be easy to place blame on others but, really, the next generation comes down to you and me. We are responsible for the discipleship and upbringing of the next generation.

Rom 10:14 “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?”

In Israel’s case each generation failed to teach the next generation about the love of God. Yet this was at the very center of God’s law (Deut 6:4-9).

We’re too apt to leave the teaching of the Christian faith to the Sunday morning church, but God makes it clear it’s the responsibility of the individual Christian to daily share and teach from generation to generation.

“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t.”

Always preach the Gospel , and use words when necessary.
